Radiant Barrier Garage Ceiling

For a versatile insulation product select reflectix insulation for a versatile insulation product select reflectix insulation to help save energy costs throughout the home.

Radiant barrier garage ceiling.

Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. Reach barrier single reflective air insulation is ideal for. The walls are completely un insulated and the roof has a layer of that bubble wrap stuff stapled to the underside of the battens that the metal roof is screwed to. Dust accumulation on the reflective surface will reduce its reflective capability.

Radiant barriers are utilized to reduce summer heat gain in attics and help to improve the efficiency of green building envelopes. This can result in energy savings in cooling costs up to 10. A radiant barrier can lower heat transfer from attics to the building below keep the attic space cooler and lower cooling costs by up to 17 in warmer climates. Attic spaces exterior and interior walls interior masonry walls radiant floors metal and steel buildings knee walls crawl spaces garage ceilings and many other applications where insulation is needed.

To be effective the reflective surface must face an air space. Radiant barrier installation attic radiant barrier installation most of the heat entering a home comes through the roof. Radiant barrier has been shown to decrease ceiling heat gains by up to 42 in certain tests. Radiantguard radiant barrier foil insulation installed in an attics can reduce attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees when stapled with a staple gun to the underside of roof rafters by reflecting up to 97 of the radiant heat that strikes its surface thereby reducing heat.

I have a 24x32 detached garage pole building with t1 11 walls and a metal roof. The radiant barrier should be installed in a manner to minimize dust accumulation on the reflective surface.
